  • Young Lionel Strongfort


    • A young Lionel Strongfort, circa 1900, billed as "America's Most Perfect Athlete" (and he certainly looked it.)

    Actually Strongfort was a great athlete -- he excelled in boxing, wrestling, track and field events as well as feats of strength.

    He could perform a somersault with a 50-pound dumbbell in each hand along with many other traditional oldtime strongman feats.    		Young Lionel StrongfortYoung Lionel Strongfort
